How do we know Christ is the center of God's plan for salvation?
Answered in 1 source
The entire Old Testament points to Christ, who fulfills the prophecies and bears the sins of His people, confirming that He is central to God's redemptive work.
Throughout scripture, we see that Christ is not just a part of God's plan; He is the culmination of it. Isaiah's vision in chapter 6 emphasizes that all revelations from God ultimately point to His Son, Jesus Christ. Christ took upon Himself the sins of His people, fulfilling prophetic words and bearing the wrath of God. The New Testament reinforces this as it explicitly identifies Christ as the fulfillment of Isaiah's prophecies. John 12:41 states, 'These things said Isaiah when he saw His glory and spake of Him.' This underscores that from the Old Testament to the New Testament, God's plan for salvation revolves entirely around Christ.
